Welcome to Centre for Critical Heritage Studies (CCHS)

Cultural heritage is the reworking of the past in the present. We are devoted to critical and interdisciplinary studies of the many layers of cultural heritage as a material, intangible, emotional and intellectual field. The centre is a partnership with University College London (UCL) and our research clusters are established both at UGOT and UCL.

CCHS activites are framed in five research areas, formalized as clusters:

Centre for Critical Heritage Studies aim to be an open, dynamic research environment with an international outlook, and we invite collaboration. If you are a researcher or a practitioner and are interested in our activities, please contact Director Kristian Kristiansen, or the coordinators of the Clusters and the Heritage Academy directly. We particularly welcome students to participate in our open events and to contact us for further information.
